X being shutdown without warning
Since yesterday (and I presume something which got updated in my SID
desktop) I can reliably crash X when running Mythtv. I just move the
mouse about/offscreen.
It doesn't lockup, like is normally the case, rather I instantly logout,
and am left with the gdm login screen.
Looking at the end of Xorg.0.Log.old is see the following lines which
aren't in the current Xorg.

Its not very helpful - it seems to indicate that the PowerButton has
been pressed - but that didn't happen.
I would like to report a bug, but I am not sure where to go from here to
find what actually caused it. I don't think MythTV updated yesterday, so
I assume it wasn't that
Anyone any ideas what could have happened here.
